Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Help when worry, fear, or panic is making everyday life harder.
Anxiety may show up as constant worry, tension that is difficult to switch off, or a sudden wave of fear with uncomfortable physical sensations. You may look composed to others while spending a lot of energy trying to feel in control.
Therapy can help you understand what is happening and develop more workable responses. You do not need to wait until anxiety affects every part of your life before seeking support.

Your experience
Trying to avoid anxiety can start limiting your choices.
You may avoid certain places, seek reassurance, overprepare, or worry about having another panic attack. These responses make sense as attempts to cope, but they can become patterns worth examining together.
You may recognize some of these concerns and not others. What matters is how your own experience is affecting you and what you would like help with.
Persistent worry
Thoughts can keep returning even after you have tried to resolve them.
Physical fear
Panic can feel intense and difficult to predict.
Avoidance
Choices may become organized around preventing distress.
Understanding your care
Your experience deserves careful attention.
Anxiety disorders and panic disorder can be treated with psychotherapy. Not every panic attack means someone has panic disorder. Assessment considers symptoms, physical health, context, and the effect on daily life.
At Embody Health Psychology, our clinical health psychology perspective considers physical health, emotions, relationships, and daily life together. That biopsychosocial perspective helps us understand your concerns without reducing them to a single cause.
An Integrative Approach
Our integrative approach considers how physical health, emotional experiences, relationships, and daily life influence one another. We draw from different psychological approaches to shape care around your concerns and goals.
We explore your specific pattern rather than treat every form of anxiety the same way. Care can include practical coping strategies and work on avoidance, beliefs, relationships, or experiences that are relevant to your symptoms.
You do not need to arrive with a perfect explanation. Your clinician will ask questions, discuss treatment options, and help you choose goals that fit.
Depending on your needs, somatic therapy techniques can help you notice tension and practice grounding when worry or panic brings physical discomfort. We also work directly with worry, avoidance, and the situations you want to re-enter.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) may be useful when one part of you anticipates danger while another feels exhausted by constant preparation.
Your goals may include:
Understanding your anxiety pattern
Notice triggers, interpretations, and coping responses.
Responding to panic more effectively
Develop a treatment plan for the fear and its impact.
Expanding everyday participation
Work toward activities anxiety has made difficult.
Addressing related distress
Discuss anxiety, low mood, or other concerns when they are part of your experience.
Finding a useful pace
Set priorities that fit your clinical needs and current circumstances.
Choosing next steps together
Review what is helpful and whether other care or support is needed.
Common questions
What you may want to know.
Are anxiety symptoms only emotional?
No. Anxiety can include physical sensations. New, severe, or unexplained physical symptoms still deserve medical assessment rather than being assumed to be anxiety.
Do I need a diagnosis before starting?
No. An assessment can help clarify what is happening and whether therapy fits your needs.
How does coordination with other providers work?
When coordination would be helpful, your clinician can discuss it with you. Sharing confidential clinical information requires appropriate authorization. Together, you can decide what is relevant to share.
Is telehealth available?
